Prayers for Jennie

[blubeast]

Jennie posted this in her column on the first web page:"Please forgive. I am typing by feel. I have lost my vision, and am headed to the hospital.... Anyhow, I won't be updating nor answering e mails for a while, I'm afraid. I sure hope this typing is alright! I'm doing well for not seeing! Anyhow-- Off I go. Please say a prayer for me. I am really scared. :( My vision just clicked off, as fast as can be. It was so scary.
Bye bye--
Oh yeah-- long drive to the hospital with 6 closed"

Pls join me in lifting up a prayer for her...:angel:

Dear Lord, please preserve Jennie's eyesight!

[Pete]

Jennie is home. She's only able to see a little with her "bad" eye and not at all with her "good" eye. The lens in her good eye has come loose and the doctors can't do anything to help right now. Maybe in a few weeks they can try surgery. She asked me to tell everyone that your kindness and prayers are VERY appreciated.

She said if there's something you ABSOLUTELY need and no one else can do it, she will do her best, but any messages must be
VERY LARGE ... AT LEAST THIS BIG
or she can't see it.

Thank you, troops. I really appreciate the prayer, most of all.

He won't give us more than we can handle. I just keep trying to remember that!

Oh, and I have the text huge on my browser, so you don't need to do the big text, anymore. (Although it is never too large!)

I prayed for aid and comfort for you at Mass this morning.

[Jennie@ifish]

Thank you so much for your prayer.
This morning, I have a change of pace, and I have to have my six month check on my aorta, complete with a full CT exam.

I always worry about these, but this time, I'd forgotten about it until yesterday!

I guess my eye problems do some good! :)

Anyhow, Off I go! Wish me a good exam!

Jen

[Jennie@ifish]

My CT is at 9, so if anyone is on at 9... pray, k? I love that time thing... knowing, while I'm sitting there being filled with dye that someone back home is praying for me. Makes me feel better! Stronger!

MY Ct exam wasn't what I wanted to hear.
Thank you for your prayers, though. They help me to deal with the news.
Please keep my family in your prayers!

Thanks,
Jen

Fished the Kilches Wednesday and thought of you several times, offering up a prayer. Hang in there!

[Jennie@ifish]

I might as well just say it. My aorta has grown.
I was supposed to graduate this time to every 12 months, instead of 6. I didn't graduate.

It's dissected from my neck to my legs.

A dissection means... well... OK.

Think of a hose. Then, think of press board, and all of the layers. What happens when you get water on press board? The layers separate. Now that my aorta is dissected, it is like a hose made out of press board that has separated. So, instead of blood going through the hose, it goes through the layers, now, making it not very strong.

They watch very carefully for bulging and growth, where it stretches out, due to marfan connective tissue.

I hadn't had much growth, until this time. Now there is a ballooning out of my aorta in the lower descending part of my aorta. It's called an aneurysm.

There IS a surgery that can be done to fix this, but it's very risky and very long. 12-15 hours and lots of time on the heart and lung, which is risky for stroke and brain damage.

So, they don't really want to do that surgery, unless they absolutely have to. There is a risk of death with that surgery, and there is a risk of death with an aneurysm like I have.

When the risk of death by aneurysm is great enough, they will do the surgery. I'm very near that point, now.

Bill spent the day out measuring the area where life flight can land, as my doctor wrote a note, saying that life flight should be on call.

Bill called life flight, and believe it or not, the pilot who answered was an ifisher! Anyhow, they talked.

If this ruptures, I will feel intense pain in my chest and back, and I am to call life flight right away. I have about an hour at most, to get to the hospital, should it start to bleed into my abdominal cavity.

ANYHOW... that's it. It is what it is, and I can live with it.

Today, I was looking up to the sky. It was so beautiful out, (from what I can see! ) and it was so crisp and cool, and the colors were just screaming from the trees that hadn't lost their leaves, yet.

I heard people rowing on the river... Everything was perfect.

I thought to myself, "Dear Lord... and you have something prepared for us that is better than this?" How amazing! Doesn't it make you kind of want to go there? Just a LITTLE BIT!?

I just pray that my family is strong, that I am strong, and that I do everything that I want to do in my life. I pray that for all of us, because none of us know when the time will be that we are called home.

In the meanwhile, live, love and eat good food like it's your last day on earth!

My favorite is Reubens, for tonight... so that's what we are having. :)

I don't really want questions on this, so I'm going to close this message, for now.

Jen
